Corey Haim’s A-List Abuser is Finally on the Verge of Being Revealed *Update: Police Find Lost Audio

In more terrible tabloid fare today, one of Corey Haim’s (The Lost Boys, Dream a Little Dream, The Two Coreys) friends is alleged to have given Radar the name of Haim’s infamous abuser. The abuser, long rumored to be a big-name Hollywood actor is — according to Haim’s friend, Corey Feldman — at least in part responsible for Haim’s drug problems and subsequent death. Statute of limitations aside, even if the abuser is outed and there is no way to prosecute him criminally, exposing him — and the child sex ring both Coreys and Elijah Wood have discussed — would be a huge thing. We don’t want any more Bill Cosbys, but they unfortunately exist, and outing the industry’s disgusting underbelly is a necessary ugliness we must face. The kids who’ve suffered through predators’ attacks might never see real justice, but I can only imagine the relief it would bring would be immeasurable.

In Radar’s piece, they say a few things about the pedophile ring’s “Kingpin”:

He’s an A-list star (presumably the word “star” means actor), one of the most recognizable faces in the industry.

He has children; he’s a “family man”.

He has never come out as gay.

Going back through previous information revealed by Haim, who said he was 14 (1985) at the time he was abused by a 42-year-old, unidentified man; that man would now be 73 years old (if the age given was accurate) and have been born around 1943. Given those parameters, and I’m not trying to make any suggestions here, it’s not difficult to comb through IMDb and find recognizable actors who were or are A-listers with children, but it is terrifying. The names at the top of these lists (by recognizability/”star” factor) are names we’ve loved. We can’t stand the thought of any beloved actor turning out to have been an abuser, never mind the ringleader of a secret group that preys on children. That said, this experience was torturous for Corey Haim, and still is for others who have lived with this all their lives. We don’t know who is still in danger; these “parties” are purportedly still ongoing. Every second that this person continues to go unidentified is a second too long.

It is important to note: these are only lists of people approximately the right age, nothing more. Some of them have no children (Walken, thank the gods), some are deceased (Hermann, *sob*), and some do not fit the clues Radar listed.

October 26, 2017 Update: In the wake of the explosive Weinstein, Toback and other Hollywood sexual misconduct revelations, Corey Feldman appears ready to go public with what is said to be the industry’s other open secret — a pedophilia ring the actor’s been aware of since he was a child. Feldman has made a public plea for support of making a film, what he calls his “Truth Campaign”. ”

Right off the bat I can name six names, one of them who is still very powerful today, and a story that links all the way up to a studio. It connects pedophilia to one of the major studios … I’m not alone. I know that there’s thousands of other who’ve experienced what I’ve experienced in the entertainment industry. I also know that there’s peers of mine who know exactly what I’m talking about, and know all the details, but have been afraid to come forward with their own truths. I am using this to draw a line in the sand, to say to the Hollywood community, we are better than this. I know that we can stand together as one. We can be united in it, and we can create an affront.”

Additionally, Amy Berg’s An Open Secret — about pedophilia in the industry — has been made available on Vimeo. The documentary (which has yet to find digital distribution) details testimony on abuse by multiple child actors, including Feldman:

We haven’t got any offers from major distributors yet because Hollywood doesn’t want to expose its dirty laundry, so we’ve been sitting on this for a while. Now, we want to celebrate the brave women who have exposed Harvey. Harvey Weinstein, by the way, is not the only one who has used confidentiality settlements. That’s why more of Hollywood’s behavior hasn’t been exposed. This is the tip of the iceberg.” (producer Gabe Hoffman)

November 3, 2017, Update:

Feldman has publicly named one of his abusers as former actor John Grissom (License to Drive, Dream a Little Dream). In a clip from his upcoming appearance on Dr. Oz, Corey Feldman said that, when he worked with Grissom in the 1980s, the actor sexually molested Feldman. The Los Angeles police department had “been made aware” of the assault, though they required Feldman to appear in person to make an official report. Oz also says that Feldman gave him additional names. THR also reports that, in 2003, Grissom was convicted of child molestation for an incident that occurred in 2001, and is currently in violation of Megan’s law, which requires his registration as a convicted sex offender. Here’s a preview of Feldman’s appearance on the Dr. Oz show:

Feldman also appeared on Today and, during the interview with Megyn Kelly, named talent manager (another convicted sex offender) Marty Weiss as another one of his abusers.

November 8, 2017 Update:

As is being reported by multipleoutlets, Charlie Sheen has been named by (among others) former actor and Haim’s friend, Dominick Brascia, as Corey Haim’s rapist. As oft-alluded by Corey Feldman, Sheen (then 19) starred with Haim in the 1986 film, Lucas; Haim was only 15 when the movie was released, perhaps as young as 13 at the time of the assault.

Haim told me he had sex with Sheen when they filmed Lucas. He told me they smoked pot and had sex. He said they had anal sex. Haim said after it happened, Sheen became very cold and rejected him. When Corey wanted to fool around again, Charlie was not interested … Haim told me he had sex with Sheen again. He claimed he didn’t like it and was finally over Sheen. He said Charlie was a loser.”

Brascia (who was once also accused of being Haim’s attacker) alleges that Sheen sodomized Haim more than once, and that at one time, Haim believed he was in love with Sheen, only to be rejected by the older actor. The National Enquirer, which has been investigating the claims by Corey Feldman and others, has reportedly corroborated Brascia’s story with “dozens” of other sources, and the tabloid also reports that according to eight witnesses on the set of Lucas, Sheen also sexually assaulted other young actors and extras, including females.

As of this evening, via THR comes word from his representatives that Sheen “categorically denies” the allegations against him.

Additionally, the Los Angeles police have now confirmed they’ve opened an investigation into Corey Feldman’s accusations about a Hollywood pedophilia ring, which reportedly involves an older A-list actor.

December 7, 2017 Update:

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office reported they’ve found the 1993 audio evidence of Corey Feldman naming abusers who were part of a Hollywood pedophile ring. Just as he’s asserted, Feldman did indeed give specific information, though he asserted that the police weren’t interested in anything beyond the scope of their Michael Jackson fact-finding. Though the police previously claimed they didn’t have the recording Feldman has been talking about for years, following the actor’s request to open an investigation, the audio has been discovered. Via USA Today, here’s the Sheriff’s Office Statement:

Following the recent inquiries into the Sheriff’s Office interview of Mr. Feldman in 1993, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office conducted an additional review for any stored items remaining from the Michael Jackson investigation.

In a container which included the original reports from the (Jackson) investigation, the Sheriff’s Office located some detective working copies of audio recordings made during the investigation. A copy of Mr. Feldman’s interview was located. The recording is being turned over to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Due to the fact that this case involves the alleged sexual abuse of a child, we are unable to comment further and any documentation or evidence related to this case is exempt from release.”

We appear to be one step closer to finding out who the alleged A-lister involved in Corey Haim’s abuse.

I read this on Radar and I was going through Haim’s acting credits trying to figure it all out.

Then I got to James Garner in Murphy’s Romance and I got incredibly sad. So knowing the math now gives me hope that it’s not anyone I’m particularly fond of? But still, an incredibly shitty situation all the way around.

I absolutely think the abuser should be outed, but there’s just something about the whole situation of Feldman, who seems to be trying to make a comeback lately, giving a tabloid hints and clues. It’s casting a super wide net, and then Feldman gets in the news.

Sorry if that’s extra cynical, I guess I just wish Haim had had the chance to name his abuser and get some sense of justice.

Statute of limitations? That’s bull. A ring would qualify as racketeering. The SOL retolls every time you commit the same crime within a 10 year period. Which explains why no one is outting anyone. It would destroy the industry. Not just a specific individual. The “family man” hollywood pedophile is a “Star” which does not necessarily mean actor (as in talent) who
was a “family man”. Family-man as a code means he comes from a family of actors. This leaves us with a few obvious possibilities:

Baldwin brothers
Bridges brothers
The Quaids and the Sheen brothers and father.

Stephens first movie was in 1986. His elder brother says on record that he’s “a faggot”. I’ve heard stories of him being seen wearing women’s clothing with his arms around two transvestites in a bar in georgia. Not all the brothers are actors and so the “gay weirdo” in every family in each of these cases, is probably the one brother (or sisters) that arent actors (or have penises).

I dont think family-man is a code. It is literally a family-man with children. And all those aforementioned people are too young.

I found this from 2011 (I don’t know anything about the linked site, it was the first Google hit). Source linked in the article to Hollywood Gossip.

From the comments: “David Nicksay. Born April 15, 1943. Corey Haim stated that his molester was 42 years old when it first happened, and that he, himself, was 14 years old at the time. Lucas was filmed in 1985 (when Corey was 14), released in 1986. David Nicksay produced it, and was 42 at the time of filming. In 1979, David Nicksay produced a television series that Corey Feldman had a role in called, “The Bad News Bears”. Feldman also stated that the person who molested Corey Haim is STILL TO THIS DAY a Hollywood “mogul”. David Nicksay is a production manager for Justin Bieber and has co/executively produced many films and television shows since the late 1970’s (Including Michael Jackson’s short film, entitled, “Ghost” which was released in 1997). I won’t sit quiet anymore. These monsters need to be stopped. Unfortunately this is only ONE of the people who victimized these two boys. That’s all I can say.”

Keep this in mind Haim was born in December. He was 14 when Lucus came out. Who are the A list actors still alive in and around that time ? Garner is dead can’t be him. What about Martin Sheen? Charlie his son was in the film Lucus. It just says on the set. I think the age thing is an estimation. Is Martin an A list actor with children, a family guy? My hunch is it’ll be him. Not the first I’ve heard of this.
